A Question for Farmers to Consider.

A most important as well as o
timely subject is the following:
Ought come restrictions to be
placed upon indiscriminate immi-
grafton? which is proposed for in
vestigation and discussion by mem
bers of the grange of the United
States during the summer months,
that they may be prepared to take
intelligent and concerted action at
the meeting of the national and
state oranges next fall and winter,
and so bring the matter with prop
er weight before congress. 1t is
question for all farmers to consider,
whether belonging to the grange or
not, as all are interested. Com.
menting On the subject the lecturer
of the national grange goes on to
say it is estimated that upwards of
100000 immigrants will land on our
shores this year. In some cities
they are camped out, waiting for
steamers to transport them. In
every anarchist meeting or outbreak
every official statement concerning
the condition Of labor or the in
mates of our almshouses and asy-
iums for the insane, and in every
report relating to plague spots in
the Sums OF our great cities, may
be found something to remind the
people of the United States that
emigration is not blessing. A bill
abolishing the state board of immi-
grafton of Wisconsin passed both
houses of the legislature without a
dissenting vote this last winter.
We do not want criminals. We do
not want insane persons or paupers.
The almshouses of New York state
contained in 1880 no less than
34,312 foreign born inhabitants;
this is one fOreignbor pauper to
every 80 foreign born inhabitants,
as against one native to every 176
of the native population. Farmers
bear the burden of the taxes to
support these paupers. We do not
want the thousands of laborers who
are coming here with the intention
of living here for few years upon
food that the native laborers re-
jects, of working for very low wages
and then returning to Europe to
spend the remainder of their days.
We do not want those among US
whose chief desire is to destroy our
institutions, as illustrated by him
who on being asked what ticket he
was going to vote, answered "Anv
ticket that is agin the govern
ment." Farmers must bear the
burdens of all the troubles this
| class causes also.-Indiana Farmer.

President Cleveland, in his brief
speech at the centennial of Clinton,
New York, touched a responsive
chord in this paragraph: 81 know
that you will bear with me, my
friends, if l yield to the impulse
which the mention of home creates,
and speak of home here, and how,
through the memories which clus-
ter about it, may claim q tender
relationship to your village. Here
it was that our family circle entire
parents and children-lived day
alter day in loving and afectionate
converse; and here for the last time
we met around the family altar and
thanked God that our household
was nnbrokcn by death or separa-
tion. We never met together IN
any home after leaving this, and
death followed closely our depar-
ture. And thus it is that as with
advancing years / survey the havoc
death has made, and the thoughts
of my early home become more and
more sacred, the remembrance of
this pleasant spot, so related, is re-
viyed and chastoned." That allu-
sion to the last meeting around the
family altar makes US al akin TO
the observation-disclosures.

Treason!!! Notification has
reared its impieus head in Ohio.
The mighty Foraker has defied and
baked the president. The govern
OF of state rebels against national
authority and boldly marches on
Washington. The republican plat
form says of Forake:
And we further endorse and approve
his prompt. action in instituting re-
straining measures to prevent the un-
lawful order of President Cleveland
from being executed.
1t seems that Count Flapdoo-
dle-Furioso has saved the union
again. What pity he never got in
sight of those rebel flags while there
were MEN marching under them.
MEN! We don't mean things like
Foraker.

The best and most satisfactory
way for the farmer to keep up his
supply of cows or increase his herd,
If desired, is to raise the heller
calves; because he can thus get
good COWS with less expense and
trouble than by purchasing; be-
sides, if they are well trained and
kindly handled they will be more
contented and make gentler and
better cows than if purchased off
the farm. In fact, this is probably
the only true way to MAINTAIN q
superior herd of cows, or any stock ,
and we can train them to our own
liking.

A correspondent of the County
Gentlemen says: "The practice of
Milling potatoes during cultivation
and growth is almost universal, and
in most instances is positively det-
rimental to productiveness, yet 1t is
nearly impossible to convince farm
ers of this fact. Many years ago
we gave the matter thorough tri-
al, giving the field in charge Of two
careful hired men. Alternate strips
OF two ar three rows each are hilled
and left fat. The men were very
confident in their assurance that
oar previous opinions were mista-
ken, as we would see when the crop
was harvested. When digging we
directed them to measure and re-
cord on shingle the product Of
each strip, and to report the result.
But they did not report tor some
days, until asked for the shingle.
They did not like to confess their
gaeat mistake, and hoped the mat
ter would ,be forgotten. The fact
was that that the fat culture gave
the fifteen to twenty per cent. more
than the hills, but when the hill was
moderate the difference was less"

that nearly all the doctors are out

1t is told about q Dakota man
that he has invented q machine to
pump smoke down a gopher hole,
where it is expected it will kill the
gopher. The only drawback seems
to be that while you are inserting
smoke in the hole the gopher went
into he will come out Of another
and sit up and whistle at you and
tell you that he has smoked ever
since he was 10 years old.

The Indianapolis Journal looks at
matters in a brave, philosophical
way. 1t says: Yes, it is rather
warm, but we must take the wealth
er as it comes. We should be
thankful to have any, and even hot
weather is better than none at all.
1t has its compromising features.
There is no bothering with over
coats, fur gloves, ear muffs, etc,
Fires do not have to be raked every
few minutes. Your horse does not
have to be rough shod to keep him
from falling on the ice. Your own
head is not exposed to an avalanche
of snow from the roof as you walk
the streets. The gas and water
pipes are not frozen up. The
young man who swings on your
front gate at night is in no danger
of being frost bitten. There is nc
danger of pumps freezing; no ne
cessity Of covering cucumber vines
fruit of all kinds is perfectly safe Il
the boys can't get at it; watermel

they are under lock and key; las
winters ice crop is safe beyond ,

by its name. II is exactly q thing

literally patronized but richly sub
sidlzed by Nashville capitalists

1t really seems to US that there is
an easy solution of the vexed In
dian problem. Let us organize all
our Indians into wild west shows
and send them to Europe to exhib-
it, in charge of army officers. We
could thus make the Indians pay
for their own support and be able
in few years to pay off our entire
national debt from the profits.

On nv farm. SAYS Col. Curtis, 1

On my farm, says Col. Curtis, I
the plough an enemy to
the orchards. It has always been
impossible to plough the orchards
without damaging the trees. There
is always more injury than can be
seen. The trees are always more or
less bruised or mangled, resulting
in decay, or they are started loose
and set back in growth. These in
juries may be seen, but the break
ing and barking Of roots, and the
wholesale destruction of the root
let's is unseen murder. Some argue
that trees will bear better by hav-
lug the roots reduced in number,
but that is, at best, only Temporal
ry benefit. 1t checks the growth to
reduce the feeding capacity of the
tree, and this tends to produce and
bring forward the fruit spurs; but
it is better to wait little longer
and have healthy tree and lon
ger erea for fruit development. The
destruction of fruit trees, by cult
waiting the land, is enormous
Whole orchards are swept away in
a few years and the best of then
are made short lived.

shoe store, at Perryman, and borrowing shoe
makers knife, went into the lane near Mr. Il.
NJ Taylor's blacksmith shop and cut his throat
He then walked as far as Mr.. Taylors ice-house,
where he fell, and was afterwards discovered
by MIR. Noble Gallup, lying upou the ground
with blood flowing from cash in his throat,
the knife clasped In his hand. Drs. Chapman
and Stier sewed up the wound, which was
about four inches long, the windpipe being
severed. He was put on the midnight train
aud taken to Baltimore, where lie was placed
in the City Hospital. His recovery is doubtful.
The man, who is about So years old, wrote the
name of Joel Abner Peart upon card and indi-
Gated by nod of his head that that was his name.
He also iutimated that he was from Akron,
Ohio. Peart had been in the neighborhood for
some time, being employed in Mitchell Il

Our County Fair.

The Hartford County Agricultural Fair
will begin at the socety's grounds, near Bel
Air, on Tuesday, October It'll, and continue
ing four days. The track aud grounds are
being put in good condition and the direc-
tors are working energetcaly to secure a
cred liable display of the agricultural rcsour-
ces of Hartford county For the credit of the
county their efforts should be aided by our
own people, at least, and farmers should send
to the fair their best horses, cattle, sheen and
swine, together with specimens of their farm
produce, Hartford is not a whit behind any of
the other counties ofthe State in agricultural
improvement, and it is our boast that
Hartford county housekeepers are the best in
the world. With little effort, therefore, on
the part of each farmer and his household the
fourteenth exhibition of the Hartford County
Agricultural Society can be made the best one
ever held.
The fair, ever since the agricultural society
has been organized, has been Harford's great
annual holiday. Besides the advantage it
las been in making our county known
to outsiders, these outpourings of the people
make n pleasant break in the monotony
of farmers lives and afford an opportuni-
ty for the meeting of friends who are separat-
ed during all thereSt of the year In addition
to the display of farm stock and machinery,
there are numberless diversions on every side,
and TO those who take pleasure in trials of
speed-and who does not ?-the track affords
daily enjoyment. The attractions in this
department, it is stated, will be superior to
any heretofore offered at our fair
A vast amount of work is necessary to at
range everything for the fair, and this the
directors do without pay. 1twoud be mere
ly an act of justice therefore, ii every one
who feels pride in presenting Hartford coun-
ty in her best light before the world, would
lend his Or her aid in making the exhibition
full and complete In all its departments.

Democratic Nominations in baltimore
CITY.

On Wednesday the Democratic convention
of Baltimore city nominated for Mayor Gen.
Ferdinand G. Latrobe, and for City Surveyor,
John E. Sudler. Gen. Larobe was nominal
ed without opposition.
The Baltimore Sun says:
"As there was no opposition in the party
ranks to MIR. Latrobe, he may be regarded as
the choice of all the elements of his party.-
There seems to be no movement for an indie
pendent candidate, and, aside from the indie
pendent action of individuals from personal
or other motives, the contest promises to be
"straight-out" fight between Mr.. Latrobe
and MIR. Bartlett, who is the choice of the
Republican party. The result will therefore
be regarded as having an important bearing
upon the approaching State contest, which in
turn is expected to exercise important influ-
encc upon the Presidential contest next wear.
Mr.. Latrobe has already been chosen four
times for Mayor, and has discharged the duties
of the office with a painstakug care and ill.,
dustry and a zeal for public interests which
have commended him TO the general public
without reference to party lines"

under free government. Now the Repub-
licans have declared themselves in favor Of
the perpetuation of this constitution, while
the Democratic convention has left the
whole matter TO the unbiased decision of the
citizens.
The constitution itself provides for taking,
at this November election, the sense Of the
people in regard to calling convention for
altering this constitution, and in obedience to
that recruitment the people will vote separate
" and distinctly from casting their bal
lots for candidates for office. The Democratic
party, he said, has not made new constitu-
ton one of the subjects of lis declaration of

A Pncnliar Postal NOte Case.

In the U. S. District Court, at Wilmington,
Del, Judge Wales presiding, an interesting
case in relation 10 issuing postal notes was
decided, on Saturday last. The decision in
this case is considered of great Importance,
as it is understood several other postal note
cases will be influenced by it.
The facts briefly stated are these: On
November 25th, 1884, a stranger made appli-
cation at the Claymont, Delaware, postoftlce,
for 90 postal notes ranging in amounts from
10 to so cents. Mr.. Robert Casey, Jr the
postmaster at that Time, issued the notes,
and the next day the stranger appeared for
still larger number of notes, which were also
issued for small amounts of cents only. These
notes were issued on offices in the Eastern
and Northern States Mr. Casey knew moth
ing further OF the notes for several weeks,
when he received notice from Washington
that his statement to the Department was in
correct, as the notes he claimed to have issued
had been returned by various postmasters
from the State of Ohio who had claimed four
dollars on each note, in addition to the odd
cents, which correspondent with Mr. Casey's
statement
It was then discovered that the scamp who
had bought the notes for cents only had by
the aid of chemicals erased the original writ
ing and forged or raised each of them four
dollars. Detectives were put on the track but
no trace of the rascal could he found The
Department brought suit against Mr. Casey
for the amount raised alleging that had the
notes been properly executed, when issued,
by the punching OF the marks indicating that
no dollars were intended, the notes could
not have been raised
Mr. Boone, Chambers ofthe Sixth Auditors
office Washington, was the principal witness
for the Government, together with Z.
n. Baldwin, formerly of Hartford, the present
postmaster of Caymon', Del, who is the
custodian of all the records covering the case.
The jury found for the plaintiff the full
amount, $242.G5, which included interest from
the date of the issuing of the notes.

Very little stir is made in county politics,
but Democrats should not, on that account,
delude themselves into the belief that they
will have n walk.oyer, for either their State
or county tickets in November, 1t must lie
remembered that the Republicans will have
the solid colored vote, as heretofore, to rely
upon, and this is no unimporlant factor in
the election. 1t will not do for Democrats to
quarrel among themselves ut tsis time The
next Presidential election may be as close us
the last, and il Maryland aud Virginia are
carried by the Republicans in 1887 they may
also carry the same States in 1888 and there
by win the Presidential election.

Our Business Chat
WITH
THE PEOPLE.

We like to talk about business
with the people, for we want
them all to know that Mabley d
Carew's MAMMOTH STORE
is the very centre of TRADE
and COMMERCIAL LIFE. If
you're thinking about buying
new clothes Pantaloons, Suit
or Overcoat,) or Furnishing
Goods, Shirts, Underwear or
Toilette "Fixings' of any des-
cription, you'll find the Grandest,
Largest and most Elegant stock
your eyes ever gazed upon now
arranged for your selection at
Mabley IL Cmew's. Buyers
should remember that our man.
moth store is not only the lead
ing Clothing and Furnishing
Goods House in the South, but
that the thirty-two consolidated
stores of Mabley d Carew re-
present the largest clothing syn
dictate i'll America. Our pur-
chascs and manufacturing inter-
ests are so enormous that we in
vest tens and hundreds of thous-
andS of dollars i'll our business
where other concerns draw the
limit at a few thousands.
Folks who are compelled to
$50 shopping" experience many
veXations and meet with numer-
Gus disappointments in their tedi-
Gus walks from store to store,
from shop to shop, searching for
what they wish to purchase
There's as much difference in the
individual tastes of people as
there is in the variety and quality
of goods. If a dealer does not
sell goods to please everybody
then these establishments must
take chances for trade on such
patronage as they may accident
ally receive. There's no "acci-
dental patronage at Mabley &
CareW's. A buyer who comes
to our store can ALWAYS pur-
chase just the goods he wants,
for our enormous display affords
him an abundance of styles and
patterns to select from.
When you come to the city
you're welcome to make our
store your headquarters. If you
are encountered with baggage or
packages have them checked free
at our first floor bundle counter
subject to YOU order on demand.
Courteous statesmen will give you
any information desired, whether
you purchase or not. Our store
is Maryland's acknowledged
Clothing and Furnishing Goods
headquarters. We have goods
for everybody. Merchants, Bank
ers, Mechanics, Laborers, Men,
Boys and Children are all treat
ed with uniform courtesy and

that is always the lowest quoted
